No state money, however, became available for the project <br /> <br />until fiscal year 1979-80. Since the .state participation was only <br />$1,000,000 and the total cost of the project was about $5,500,000, <br />the project was started with other moneys (local and Farmers Home <br />Administration (FmHA) money) early in 1979. <br /> <br />PROBLEM <br /> <br />With the project only partly completed, it was discovered <br />that overruns to the original cost would occur. The overruns are <br /> <br />the result of: <br /> <br />(a) increased stripping quantities; <br /> <br />(b) more stringent requirements from the U. S. Bureau of <br />Reclamation, the U. S. Forest Service, and the state <br /> <br />Engineer's Office; <br /> <br />(c) additional requirements for the access road and <br /> <br />repairs to the existing County road; <br /> <br />(d) additional work for the construction of the proposed <br /> <br />campground; and <br /> <br />(e) increased costs due to inflation. <br /> <br />CURRENT STATUS <br />In September, 1979, the Secretary of the Upper Yampa Water <br />Conservancy District submitted to the ColoradO Water Conservation <br />Board a request for additional funding for the reasons explained <br />above. <br /> <br />,~,-:"c_/.,< <br /> <br />.-- _",,'i <br /><<:-.;-~-,--,'.;;-, _.~~ <br /> <br />,"; ':,:-;~: _:_,;~-<,-~~~;:~-:,-;;-::~;<- :~~~;;;~::{}~~J;.1;)~~i1t~~~;~~~;~'i:h-(~,~~~ <br /> <br />~'-' -\~" <br /> <br />,-'.<, <br />
